Hi!

I have no problem with this, just keep in mind they would be immune
to a lot of non-physical psychic powers, and thats not counting their
psy-save.

If this is what you want, it is easy enough to change the
corresponding books, thing is how would it effect game balance.

Of course it is easy to say if it doesn't have a morale stat then it
is immune to whatever game effect uses morale, but again some of
those units dont have psy-saves, so it is as you were giving them one.

Discuss this amongst yourself a bit, then lets vote. I wish to change
the rule only once if I have too!
